Western REG: discover what is possible...

Tue, Jun
29, 2010 - By Pete Vordenberg

by pushing each other and working together.

The Western REG ended this morning. The week-long camp included 18 hours of training, time trials, strength tests, speed work, talks by the US Ski Team including Andy Newell, technique work, double-pole sessions and a long distance combi workout.

Emphasis was put on working on one thing per technique per session. Work, Focus = improvement every session.

Getting the best in the region together means everyone gets a chance to learn from each other and push each other, as well as have fun together. Compete = to seek together. Push each other to help each other.

Effort, pain and concepts of what is difficult or even possible is cultural. Ang Rita Sherpa faces a wilderness tooth pulling with a mile wide smile. Redefine hard, discover what really is possible.

Rollerskiers heading up East Canyon - followed by a run from East over to Parley's. This was the last real workout of the camp.

Great job coaches and athletes on a great Western REG. The other regions' Regional Elite Group camps are starting up soon too.
